This six-banded armadillo was found wandering under palm trees, enjoying the nuts that had fallen to the ground. With poor eyesight, they are shy and reclusive, nervous about their surroundings. But this videographer was able to record close footage by setting up a tripod and remaining as still as possible. The adorable little creature nibbled away contentedly, ignoring the fascinated tourist and almost walking across his feet. The six-banded armadillo is typically between 40 and 50 centimeters (16 and 20 in) in head-and-body length, and weighs 3.2 to 6.5 kilograms (7.1 to 14.3 lb). They are omnivores, feeding on ants, other insects, carrion, and plants. This armadillo appears to be a nursing mother. They have one to three in a litter and the young are weaned after approximately one month. The face on this unusual little creature is simply beautiful.
